Absolutely, I have been staring at the radar for the past 2 hours, getting no work done whatsoever My job field is actually weather related, I hope to get a better job when I complete my degree, I love this stuff.

In that case I must ask you about an idea I came up with today....

Would it be possible to end tornadoes by creating a manmade tornado that rotates in the opposite direction and sending it to collide with the natural tornado so that the rotations offset each other and cancel out?

But what about the people who are hit by the man made tornado!

Scientifically if it WAS possible to create a man made tornado you would need to make a man made storm which which will produce the tornado, you would need said storm to collide with the other storm which will disrupt the inflow and outflow of the storm which will hypothetically destroy any circulation in the storms. But it will be impossible to have two tornadoes in two storms going in opposite directions because one storm will be going with the front which is the way it gets its energy and the other storm will have to go against the grain which will shear all of the moisture/energy away from the storm. On the other hand these storms can merge and create one huge supercell thunderstorm with more energy.

But this is all pointless because here in the Northern hemisphere lower level circulations only spin counter clockwise. Only upper level highs can spin clockwise.

While your idea is high on the cool factor, I look at it along the same lines as the unnecessary work Dr Evil put into the demise of Austin Powers, putting him on a slowly lowering platform and leaving him to drop into a pool of ill-tempered seabass.

I'd think a nice powerful explosive would disrupt the rotation of the tornado as well, but the people in the trailer park would probably frown on it.

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is!Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Either way, they're putting in an insurance claim so what's the difference?

This is how big your signature should be. Any larger and you are compensating.
